Diamond Capture and Incode Win $37.4M Login.gov Identity Proofing Contract

Diamond Capture Associates and Incode Technologies have secured a $37.4 million contract from the General Services Administration to bolster the security of Login.gov. For fintech and identity professionals, this represents a significant federal validation of biometric identity proofing as the primary defense against sophisticated digital fraud in large-scale public infrastructure.

What was announced

The contract, awarded by the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service’s Technology Transformation Services (TTS), is valued at $37.4 million. Under this call order, Diamond Capture Associates and Incode will support the Login.gov Next Generation Identity Proofing Blanket Purchase Agreement (NG BPA). This initiative is a critical federal program focused on strengthening digital identity verification and reducing fraud across various government services.

The project specifically involves the deployment of Remote Unsupervised Identity Proofing Solutions. This technology allows the public to verify their identities accurately and efficiently without the need for in-person interaction, utilizing Incode’s proprietary biometric identity platform. The system is designed to enhance the platform’s ability to verify users while protecting privacy and ensuring fairness in the verification process.

Login.gov provides the public with a single trusted account to access participating online government services securely. By integrating these next-generation proofing solutions, the GSA aims to provide more secure and consistent online access for millions of users. The award underscores a commitment to supporting mission-critical government programs with cutting-edge technology, helping federal agencies stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated digital fraud.

What FF News has reported before

FF News has previously tracked Incode’s warnings regarding the evolution of digital threats. In the report Agentic Fraud to Exceed 90% of All Attacks by 2028 as Incode Warns of AI-Driven Surge, the company detailed how AI-driven attacks are expected to dominate the fraud landscape, necessitating the kind of robust biometric defenses now being implemented for the GSA.

Further context on the company’s market reach was provided in Hudini and Incode Technologies Enter Strategic Partnership to Digitally Transform the Hospitality Experience. This earlier coverage highlighted Incode’s ability to deploy its identity stack in high-traffic commercial environments, a precursor to the large-scale public implementation required by the Login.gov program.

What this means

This $37.4 million award signals a definitive shift in how the public sector views identity. By opting for remote, unsupervised biometric proofing, the GSA is effectively setting a new standard for the industry, moving away from manual or knowledge-based authentication which has proven vulnerable. This move puts significant pressure on legacy identity providers to modernize their stacks or risk obsolescence in the face of AI-driven fraud. However, the reliance on proprietary biometric platforms raises ongoing questions for the sector regarding transparency and algorithmic bias. The industry will be watching closely to see if this implementation can truly balance high-security thresholds with the fairness and accessibility promised by the GSA.
